Potentially somewhat off-topic, but then again, maybe not…
I often want to print drafts / RFCs because I find it easier to review / read them on dead trees.
I was not able to find an easy way to print them in a pretty manner (duplex, one "page" per page, fixed width, etc) and so I wrote something in Python that will convert the draft to a PDF (using Reportlab) and then printing it using lpr.
Code / a bit more detail is here: https://www.kumari.net/index.php/programming/programmingcat/45-printrfcordraft
Might this be a useful approach?
